how many sides does a box REALLY have?

so life is like being in a box with doors on every side. but how many sides are there? and how many sides do YOU PERSONALLY see? depending on what kind of person you are you will see anywhere between 1, 20, 21, 22, and infinite sides. if you don't feel like guessing then cheat and read on. FMAB fans will get number 21, Christians will get number 20, rocket scientists will get number 18, wallflowers will get number 12, cheerleaders will get number 1, physic majors will get number infinity, detailed readers will get number 21, and most if not all of you will forget number 19.

Essentially the more people who view the box the more number of sides the box has. Essentially this little trick question has infinite sides. So “infinity” is also an acceptable answer. It even has a formula:

y = 2x + 22

where

y = the number of sides

and

x = the number of people
